    Lean on me, when you're not strong
    And I'll be your friend
    I'll help you carry on
    For it won't be long
    'Til I'm gonna need
    Somebody to lean on

    My wife and I were just married around 9 months when this song was on the radio. I was stationed at Dyess AFB, Abilene Tx. That year and half was so beautiful and she was just pregnant with our son. We both loved this song and sang it all the time. She died 4 years ago of cancer after 49 years. I miss her so and this song is still so beautiful.

    Matthew 6:34 (NKJV)
    34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble
    2 Corinthians 6:2
    2 For He says: "In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
    The time is now...
    For tomorrow's never promised. Therefore, we should show lovingkindness to one another, smile while passing by someone, say I Love you to your family/friends.
    Whomever is reading this, may you seek in the Lord your God early. God Bless everyone

    Shortly after my brother got the news of terminal cancer, we heard this on the radio several times after not hearing it played for years. It became (his) our song. This song & He ain’t heavy he’s my brother , leaves me in tears 14 years later. A bitter sweet sound. God bless Bill Withers 💔

    For a year, I ran a choir for homeless people out of a soup kitchen downtown- and this was one of our old standby's. They always spoke with respect about Bill Withers. Another favorite was Take Me Home Country Roads, You've Got a Friend and You Raise Me Up. Singing together has such Power!

    I know it has been awhile since you made your comment and I am listening to this song hoping that you are doing well. I have had severe anxiety ever since I was young and know how truly painful it can be. I will keep you in my prayers that our anxiety subsides or you have found some good coping skills. Music is the best good for your soul. I always have my music with me and it helps a lot. Just know you aren't alone and it takes a strong person to handle anxiety so I hope all is a little easier for you.

    We have lost another true legend i just found out that he passed
    away.Bill Withers was more than just a singer,guitar,piano player ,Seven
    time Grammy award winner and he was inducted into the Rock And Roll
    Hall Of Fame in the class of 201. He left us with many great songs that
    were the soundtracks to our lives with songs like Lean On Me,Grandmas
    Hands,Use Me,Who Is He And What is he to you which was covered by so
    many but in my opinion the cover version and another all time classic
    of that song was by Creative Source till this day that song still gets
    played.Bill had many other classics but when he hooked up with the late
    great Grover Washington Jr. on their monster hit Just The Two Of Us
    which they won in 1981.Bill made history at the 30th annual Grammy
    Awards on March 2, 1988, becoming the first songwriter to win for best
    R&B song three times.
    R.I.P Bill Withers thank you for sharing your great talents to the world.

    Please swallow your pride
    If I have things you need to borrow
    For no one can fill those of your needs
    That you won't let show.
    You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
    We all need somebody to lean on.
    I just might have a problem that you'll understand,
    We all need somebody to lean on.

    If there is a load
    You have to bear
    That you can't carry
    I'm right up the road
    I'll share your load
    If you just call me.
    Call me if you need a friend
    Call me, call me, uh-huh

      Javier Aguirre as sad as it is, his earthly work is finished. You are stronger for listening to his music just like others.as Shakespeare’s Macbeth said “life’s but a walking shadow,a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more .it is a tale told by an idiot,full of sound and fury signifying nothing .“ Mr withers strutted his music off the stage of life and oh , what beautiful music he left behind.At least we get to enjoy that so cheer up. r.i.p Mr Withers.
